If you're not thinking of the monologue that starts Romeo and Juliet's balcony scene:
Romeo. He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
(Romeo and Juliet, 2.2.1-3)
Then perhaps you're looking for this piece from Twelfth Night:
Sebastian. This is the air; that is the glorious sun;
This pearl she gave me, I do feel't and see't;
And though 'tis wonder that enwraps me thus,
Yet 'tis not madness.
(Twelfth Night, 4.3.1-4)
Your cryptic vocabulary make the quote harder to identify! You can do a search on opensourceshakespeare.com if neither of these quotes are what you're looking for.

"and Juliet is the sun." (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet.)
The complete monogue
ROMEO: But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.
It is my lady; O, it is my love!
O that she knew she were!
She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold; 'tis not to me she speaks.
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

I don't recall Shakespeare using the term 'da' in his poetry and plays.
